I still find myself shifting between multiple books. Call it Add, Call it a more kaleidoscopic experience. Heck call it Ishmael.
Living in the Heart by Drunvalo Melchizadek– After finishing his Serpent of Light-Beyond 2012 book, I found myself wanting to read everything that Melchizadek has written. His message about where this planet is heading and how to develop spiritually with the planet is that important. Plus Melchizadek writes so vividly about the ceremonies that he has taken part in that the reader is swept along usually in a rather transformational way. Living in the Heart could be one of the most important books that I have read. The guided meditation on the CD is definitely powerful.
Emails From the Universe by Robert Anton Wilson I have been immersing myself in RAW’s lectures and books lately and find the experience enlightening, inspiring, mystifying and downright funny. I find myself alternately laughing, blown away with insight or throughly puzzled in a thought-provoking way. This book is probably the last one published before Wilson left the party in 2007. It is a collection of essays, articles and interviews with and by RAW published over the last 30 years. Wilson intimates at the beginning that reading this book will infect the reader with certain subversive memes. 😉
Turn Coat by Jim Butcher – The One fictional book in the bunch here. The latest in the series of novels by Butcher starring professional wizard, Harry Dresden. The blurbs describe this series as a combination of Buffy and Philip Marlow and that has some truth. My favorite literary guilty pleasure.
Virus of the Mind-The New Science of the Meme by Richard Brodie This book has brought me a lot of enjoyment. A meme , according to Brodie and several others is “a unit of information whose existence influences events such that more copies of itself get created in other minds” . In other words, the way i understand it a thought construct such as a slogan, a piece of music or an idea that once it gets in your head, you start humming it or passing it along. Could be anything from the first notes of Beethoven’s Fifth (DA DA DA DUH) to “Bush is a moron” to “Everything is One” It occurs to me that i definitely need a greater awareness of which memes are running loose in my brain.
A Garden of Pomegranates by Israel Regardie (Edited and Annotated with New Material by Chic & Sabdra Tabatha Cicero A new edition of an old classic. I am intrigued.
Tomorrow-the Hanged Man Reading and hopefully will get the video from Hurricane Ridge finished.
